My friend did the CC AC, he heard back half an hour ago, was successful! So it looks like they are calling people slowly…

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!

Does all ur portals still have the withdraw option next to the view submissions thing? Dunno if that will help you all make sense of it but I remember noticing that when I applied last year i think mine went and i was unsuccessful. Hope you all get good news its so horrible when you wait all that time for a rejection :(

    I'm not sure, mine did when I got rejected so that's what we assumed last year. It may just be that I checked it after everything was finalised idk!
    i have applied to CC before and the withdraw option only disappeared after they sent the rejection mail. I don't think this is a sign.
